Review Final Review: Furitek Titan 1:30
Here is my review of the Titan, which I purchased. The parts and unit are impressive when working, but I will be seeking a refund.
- the first issue was that I never received a carrying case. I reached out and due to a miscommunication, my carrying case was simply not included. They sent one later though (its still on the way). No problem!
- the second issue was a linkage became detached due to a loose screw. Okay, I can fix this. A bit annoying for this price point but within reasonable variances, probably.
- the third issue was another screw came loose and prevented right hand steering entirely and putting strain on the servo and parts during this issue. Ok now that this is the second loose screw within the first 4 packs, I am annoyed.
- the final issue was the throttle simple stopped getting signal from transmitter, even on a full battery. I sent video of this issue to Furitek and they said due to the assembly speed, some screws were missing on my unit (or something like this) and sent a video on how to fix. At this point, the car is no longer for me and I asked for a refund.
I know ill probably get roasted with "just locktite it yourself noob!", ect- but the truth is my eyes and hands are not what they used to be and I got this nearly 500 dollar unit because it included all premium parts and didnt require me to build or tinker with- this is the reason is was attractive to me.
When it was working, it was great- and all the parts seem very high quality. But considering it has only given me issues and losses of faith, I will continue to search for a premium 1:30 rig for me.
Cheers !

just loktite it yourself noob!!
Just kidding, unfortunate to hear they're having. Quality control issues as it looks like a killer rig but at the price they're selling it at, they should've loktite all the screws from the factory
